Tuning the rate of aggregation of hIAPP into amyloid using small-molecule modulators of assembly
Here the authors carry out chemical kinetic studies revealing that aggregation of hIAPP and its variant S20G involves secondary nucleation. Two small molecules with novel scaffolds are shown to inhibit or accelerate aggregation by binding different molecular species.
